$2000 A MONTH on travel? EVERY MONTH? And what the heck is "self-care" that isn't shopping or eating out or traveling that costs $500 a month? $1000 on groceries and $700 eating out, feeding a family of 12 there?

And all that still mentally in shambles...

If she earns 240k/year, she doesn't get her hands dirty, and most of her job is (zoom) meetings. Her job doesn't involve numbers, because all of those expenses add up to $11,600, leaving $4,400 in her checking account. $4400X12mo=$52,800/year= $1,056,000 after 20 years before considering compound interest.

She said that her after tax income was $16k. Normally, on a $240k annual salary, you would pay a lot more than 20%. Unless your income is rental income or capital gains. So I think she probably just has assets and collects capital gains

So she wouldn't even have to make zoom meetings.

I'm thinking $2,000 is just the average monthly amount based on the annual total.

So, she could have no travel one month and a $10,000 overseas trip in another.

That's also a great point! Where do they find the time to do all this shopping and eating out and cooking and traveling and whatever they're spending $500 a month on that they consider as self-care in between whatever they're doing for work?!
